So the Golden Age passed away to silver   But that was long ago   There were swimming holes and the Vaudeville   They gave way to this      Bronze turned itself slowly into iron   And here we are today   If what you say has a grain of truth   The age of rust is soon      Please, it's not a thing just to bring you down   It's just a passing phase   But who'll believe your piano played itself   A long forgotten air      CHORUS   The Golden Age, it'll never fade away   Today just don't seem the same   The Golden Age, it'll never fade away   If you were there      There will always be someone telling you   That these are wicked times   Rainy days come down just to make you think   Of all the shades of grey   No one knew that you liked to paint   Until they cleaned your room      CHORUS
